August 16, 200619 yr Member I gotta add that I *loved* the barbs thrown back and forth between Sami and Chelsea. They were so teasingly playful, but deadly serious at the same time. Good actor chemistry there, IMO. I'm also enjoying the fact that the single "Salem Brain" has become community property again, being used by more than one person an episode. Dare I say that it's like the entire town of Salem has just woken up from a very long, very bad, nightmare? The actors seem to be much more alive in scenes now. Wow, it was incredible to see the actors express their lines with so much focus. It doesn't seem like a cartoon anymore, does it? I'm impressed with Bo and John right now. More so than I have been in over a decade atleast. I agree about Melvin and Sweeney, they play off each other so well. I would like more scenes with both actressess in them. Have you also noticed how people aren't segmented into little parts of the show. I mean it's like Reilly had four very slow moving soaps under the heading of "Days of Our Lives". Now, we have characters interacting with each other outside of their quads or triangles. We have John acting in a scene where he doesn't HAVE to mention Marlena. I love J&M, possibly my favorite couple on the show, but can't they focus on anything else besides each other without it being considered a crime. I love it!!! It's Great and I'm impressed with Beth more and more at this point.
August 16, 200619 yr Member John doesn't have to mention Marlena She's always around in his head and heart anyway. Thinking psycologically for example, corruption = ambition. Would be nice to see them together though. I love the fact that John's throwing himself into an investigation while alone... Poor dude.
August 16, 200619 yr Member I found the show to be very entertaining...I could seriously watch Sami and Chelsea read the dictionary together and i would love it..Todays scenes between those two were a riot..I'm so glad we are getting more scenes of them together..I remember loving them back during sami's wedding to lucas when she went off on chelsea.. Lexie was great today..loved her going off on chelsea..There may be fans that hate chelsea..But she's one of my faves, i hope she sticks around..Rachel Melvin has so much potential..and the character is a mini version of sami and i love that... Bo and Hope--in one episode they figured out the email fiasco..awesome..With JER that would have taken much longer, or never have come out.... Finally to whoever pointed out that we haven't seen flashbacks in a few weeks....thank you so much..I honestly hadn't noticed...But its so nice not having JER's annoying ass flashbacks in every episode..

I know, characters were so stupid for the longest time. It was frustrating that they were being written as complete dimbulbs, especially Philip. Then he was the first one out of that god-awful quad to suspect sabotage with the fetuses, and brought up him being a switched embryo by Vivian, and I cheered. It's the little things Beth has done to make DAYS much better than it was. I'll never understand why JER thought having the characters isolated in their own stories and interactions was good. He would have never made Kayla and Billie share a scene, or Lucas and Stephanie.

OUU! OUU! *raises hand impatiently* It was me who said that. And as for Bo and Hope and the email fiasco.. I'm so happy that it finally came out, and it wasn't at the END of the show. Beth Milstein is doing such a good job... Wow! I just can't wait to see her name under "Headwriter" today.
August 16, 200619 yr Author Member I haven't noticed the lack of flashback or fantasies myself. Wow. Just...wow.
August 16, 200619 yr Member I hope Alfonso is next to go in whatever fashion because I've never HATED a core, family character like I hate her right now. I can't stand the sight of her. John was actually pretty enjoyable.
August 16, 200619 yr Member On this trend of characters having scenes that never do..On thursdays show abe and shawn share a scene...thats kind of cool..
